                          I have searched around and found 3 ways to check version, but I'm getting 3 different versions. How can I tell which is correct?

    $ lsb_release -a
    No LSB modules are available.
    Distributor ID:	Debian
    Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
    Release:	12
    Codename:	bookworm

    $ cat /proc/version
    Linux version 6.1.0-30-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc-12 (Debian 12.2.0-14) 12.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.40) #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.124-1 (2025-01-12)

    $ cat /etc/debian_version
    12.9
